10 Transforming Makeup Techniques for Older Women

[@lenorelopez748]

I love the way that you know your skin and that you change products and not get in a rut. As we grow older we do have to adjust to our ever changing skin needs

[@dewuknowofHyMn]

Havent watched in a while.....thank you for the supurb tips....time to go shopping !

[@denisebrown4933]

Very pretty look, Margaret, not at all heavy. I love that you try different colors and products all the time; keeps your look fresh and I’m learning to do that from you. And you don’t need a hair piece!

[@time2bherenow]

Fun & great tips! Thanks Margaret! You look lovely and natural.

[@dinaheile7985]

This is perfect! I too, have found that I can't extend my eye shadow up too high anymore. I also mix my lipsticks. Great tips!!

[@kathykit7629]

What a great look. That foundation makes your skin looks so nice. Great idea on the eye shadow technique. I have tried one and done shadow looks with Laura Mercier cream shadow sticks when I want to get out the door quickly. I like the look of the smaller Natasha Denona set. I’m kind of over large palettes where I use 3 shadows and never touch the rest.

[@pas10s]

Margaret you look terrific! And thank you for sharing your tips, tricks and colors!

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks for watching!

[@Aydeet2]

Great video, Margaret! When I apply mascara after using my eyelash curler, I first touch the tips of my eyelashes with the wand before continuing with the root to tip application. It helps to see exactly where the ends of the lashes are and separates them a bit, too.

[@carolmaughan256]

You look great Margaret- thank you. I like the idea of cream products and will definitely explore some. Sadly I am not sure the ‘lid only’ method would work for me as I have very hooded eyes so I think it would look as if there was nothing there at all!

[@deb9806]

I also love creme blushes, even before my skin got so dry. I will look at Honest, my Clinique shade I think was discontinued.

[@kathykumer5427]

Love the advice, I agree that it can be too complex and time consuming to do the full eye.

[@donohoe0]

Amen to that!!!

[@painwisenurse]

It’s amazing how good the formulas of cosmetics are today. They have come a long way since the 70s, 80s and 90s. From base/face products to eyeshadows, they are a lot easier to apply, with much better color selections and in general, more fun to use.

[@angelaharris1112]

I agree. I'm 60 years old.

[@joycerubenstein7741]

I love elf cosmetics .I use the putty primer on my eye lids and it works great. Love playing with makeup and being so affordable if I order the wrong color, it is no big deal. The small eyeshadow pallets are only four dollars in the states. I order all their products directly from their website and receive them in a few days. They always offer free gifts if you order over $25.

I discovered Clinique eyebrow powder and love it! I have spent so much money trying to find the right eyebrow product. It comes with two cute brushes which fit in the tray with the powder. They make applying the powder so easy and it stays put.

[@katrinaryan1739]

What a beautiful look Margaret can you tell me the name of that foundation again as it is lovely. You have the most gorgeous big eyes and good eyelashes too so mascara really shows up on them. My eyelashes are rubbish short and straight and fair so I have to resort to falsies. The lip colour that you eventually created is so pretty it matches your top and by the way I love your hand mirror.🥰💜

[@cwm5316]

Your 10 tips are wonderful. I still have many powder blushes that I like but recently I have added cream blushes and cream highlighters to my makeup stash. They're very popular right now and available at all price points. I recently tried NYX Born To Glow Foundation; it's luminous and very affordable at $9.99. Have a great week!

[@terrysmith5868]

I like honest beauty blush too. I accidentally ordered a coral color but really like it and I would have never chosen it. It goes over the Laura Gellar Balance and brighten powder foundation too which looks great on my mature skin even around eyes. So easy and perfect to travel with too!

Just have tried a cream blush, you are right, it is great for mature skin, maybe for any skin, but am loving it. Thanks for that tip. Your color is pretty on you.

[@Los_Life_N_Lessons]

A few weeks ago I watched a video - not this one - where you were excited to share a new technique for applying eyeshadow. It's the 'stripe' method, where you applied three different colours to the eyelid and blended them together with a fluffy brush in one direction only, from the corner of the eye outwards. (I looked and looked for that video but cannot find it.) Well, I have been using - and perfecting! - this technique of applying eyeshadow ever since. It has changed my life! The result is magical and never fails to produce a beautiful ombre effect even on my 75-year old hooded eyelids. I use matte shadows for the outer and inner third, and a shimmer in the middle. Thanks for sharing that tip, Margaret!

[@sixtyandme]

I think it was the Laura Geller makeup review will try to find the link ❤️

[@sharonkline6515]

Your mirror is lovely. I have never seen one like it in the US

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

Berts bees does a really nice cream eyeshadow and rose gold :-) it was about nine dollars! But they only make four colors and that is the lightest one. I also found you can turn other shimmer powder shadows into cream with a rich moisturizer. You don’t get the same bright metallic foil effect, but it’s still nice soft and s and satiny finish. :-)

[@terrysmith5868]

At my age of 58 I found that less is best. I put on moisturizer, then put on Laura Gellar B&B foundation, blush and some lip balm and that is is! One light brown or taupe eye shadow works for me and really makes my blue eyes stand out. I have a Nudes matte eye shadow palette but found it makes my eyes look more wrinkly than they already are! Elizabeth Arden shadow seems to work well or any satin shadow instead of a matte. Nothing glittery either

[@nataliehughes4143]

The cream blush is pretty on you. You look attractive, healthy and happy.

[@janetcaruana8525]

I love the shimmer on the lid. It's so pretty no matter what your age, I think!

There are some of us that mascara is no longer possible. Eyelashes to sparce & short. Thank you for doing what you do. So fabulous to have someone of maturity knowing that we can still look beautiful...inside & out

[@1cdc622]

I’m 18 but use the same eyeshadow technique. I used to wear those heavy makeup looks and cut crease and stuff. Then I stopped wearing any makeup for a year and started wearing makeup again a year ago. At first I did heavy makeup again but after one year of not using any makeup it looks so wrong and feels wrong. I don’t like myself anymore with that much makeup. I feel like a clown with heavy makeup now it only looks good for photos. Same with those tips for hooded eyes. I have pretty intense hooded eyes and did my makeup how some people say is better for hooded eyes. But then I realized that it looks odd because I’m not looking straight and serious all the time. So I stuck with this technique because you can see that I wear eyeshadow but it’s not looking like too much or something. Just looks good on nearly everyone and it’s so easy too!
